Bye Bye Baby Bump
Bye Bye Baby Bump (b4) is a unique Post Pregnancy Exercise Program launched by Aushealth Physiotherapy in late 2009 to assist mother’s regain their core stability and overall fitness after giving birth.
Completely designed and carried out by our experienced staff of Physiotherapists, b4 is the smartest and safest approaches to reintroducing your body to exercise and the physical stresses it endures throughout the early stages of your baby’s life.
What does b4 consist of?
12 weeks in total, b4 gradually begins with and initial assessment to capture your baseline measurements and background information. Our physiotherapist then progress you through 3 stages of exercise starting with Hydrotherapy. Physiotherapy & Pilates- influenced Mat Exercises are then introduced followed by Machine-based Circuit Training at our Gym clinic location.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are uncomfortable with the idea of getting into your bathing suit for the initial Hydrotherapy Stage of b4, you have the option to substitute these sessions with 4 extra weeks of the Pliates-influenced Mat Exercises. Either way, you’ll be guided through a gradually progressive core stability exercise regimen.
